If You Hear a Knock...

If You Hear a Knock...

A Poem by Kami
"

...Answer the Door

"

A door opened today

I felt something strange

Coming from its way

I wanted to peek inside

To see what it might hold

But there is no looking

Only a leap so bold

That means letting go

That means change

I walked away though

I foolishly walked away

Doors don’t often open

I regret that I chose to stay

This is a brilliant way to make a profound statement using somewhat playful storyline. I love the way you seemingly lead us on, thinking it's one thing, but really planning to make this message into another thing. This is how to show instead of tell (first rule of good writing). I can definitely understand the example you show to give us the benefit of not making the same mistakes (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

You are right. When a new opportunity come near and we look away. Could of been first and last chance. Thank you Kami for sharing the amazing poetry.

We get so stuck in our ways. Sometimes, it is so very hard to change. And try a new direction or thing in general. Bravo. And nicely expressed. With such sentiments that mean you care.

And thank you for the poem.
Nicely worded, change comes in many forms and is usually terrifying.

Interesting way of describing the way fear can keep us from seizing opportunities. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. If you don't, you may look back in regret. Well done.
